OBJECTIVES Evidence on contraceptive self-injection from the United States and similar settings is promising, and the practice may increase access. There are no published studies on the feasibility of contraceptive self-injection in sub-Saharan Africa to date. The purpose of this study was to assess feasibility of subcutaneous depot medroxyprogesterone acetate self-injection in Uganda, with spe...

The Xining Basin in Qinghai Province, China, is rich mid–low temperature geothermal resources, but the reinjection of water has not yet started. In this paper, physical properties rocks sampled from newly drilled well DR2018 were analyzed, and a series core flooding experiments was conducted to assess formation blockage risk during reinjection. experimental results show that reservoir low poros...

Background. In previous studies comparing regional 20MT1 (201Tl) and 18fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) activity in patients with chronic coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction, we hypothesized that regions with mild-to-moderate reduction in FDG activity and regions with mild-to-moderate irreversible 2`Tl defects after 3to 4-hour redistribution represent viable myocardium. In the pres...

Abstract While utilizing hydrothermal resources, it is necessary to reinject wastewater into the reservoir through reinjection wells extract heat without mining groundwater. Chemical clogging a serious problem in process of reinjection. The precipitation minerals can lead and reduction permeability. Therefore, study effect chemical on permeability, weakly consolidated sandstone Neogene Guantao ...

PURPOSE To investigate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of subconjunctival sirolimus injections as a treatment for active, autoimmune, non-necrotizing anterior scleritis. DESIGN Phase I/II, single-center, open-label, nonrandomized, prospective pilot study. METHODS Five participants with active, autoimmune, non-necrotizing anterior scleritis with scleral inflammatory grade of ≥1+ in at ...

conclusions some children with cap have acnes. in all children with acnes, we recommended local nerve blocks. if the local block in 3 times is not helping, neurectomy of the peripheral nerve is method of choice. results in 12 pediatric patients with chronic abdominal pain, we diagnosed acnes. each presented with abdominal pain and a positive carnett sign. local nerve blocks using anesthetic and...

The surface equipment design for a binary cycle geothermal power plant including facilities required the and complete reinjection process of two-phase fluid (H2O + non-condensable gases (NCGs)) in Castelnuovo area Larderello are modelled. proposed scheme includes configuration closed-loop plant, NCGs compression train at wellhead. Steady-state dynamic simulations performed. steady-state model i...

Leukocytes labeled with technetium-99m using pretinning with stannous complexes of pyrophosphate, glucoheptonate, and gentisic acid were compared with respect to labeling efficiency, time required for labeling, in vitro cell viability, initial lung transit, and image quality following reinjection into normal volunteers. Gentisic acid pretinning was the best method, offering the shortest prepara...

BACKGROUND Epidural steroid injection (ESI) is known to be an effective treatment for lower back or radicular pain due to herniated intervertebral disc (HIVD) and spinal stenosis (SS). Although repeat ESI has generally been indicated to provide more pain relief in partial responders after a single ESI, there has been little evidence supporting the usefulness of repeat injections in cumulative c...
